U.S. education officials issued a warning Thursday to thousands of colleges and universities across the nation to be on alert for fraud after California authorities uncovered a massive scam attempt involving 65,000 federal financial aid applications filed by fake community college students.
Colleges that disburse federal financial aid to ineligible applicants must return the funds to the U.S. Department of Education. “While the investigation is ongoing, our work includes determining what, if any, federal taxpayer dollars were disbursed and recovering those funds. We notified financial aid administrators at thousands of institutions across the country and recommended actions they can take to prevent fraud, as well as protect individuals. We also will take the necessary steps to prevent this type of suspected fraud in the future.
